4. Sedona
Ommm … you may need a little meditation and relaxation after the frenetic pace of your wedding day. Bliss out in red rock Sedona. The Enchantment Resort and Spa will pamper you, so book a couple’s massage, sip margaritas by the pool, or score Love—on the tennis courts. If you can drag yourselves out of your hotel room for about an hour take the short, but slightly challenging hike to Cathedral Rock. Cathedral Rock is the strongest of the famous vortexes in Sedona, so get a little revved up from the energy here. Stop in at L’Auberge de Sedona on a balmy night for dinner under a canopy of stars and fragrant pine trees on their outdoor patio. The extensive and award-winning wine list will supply you with the perfect aphrodisiac.
5. Napa
If rolling hills of grapevines, eating fresh, locally sourced food, and wine-spiked massages sound right up you and your betrothed’s alley, then Napa is the place for you. Have a personal driver take you to all the sparkling wine vintners one day, then hire him again to take you to the award-winning cabernet sauvignon wineries the next. Splurge a little (okay, a lot) at The French Laundry, one of the most exclusive and indulgent restaurants in the country. There are a plethora of resorts and spas for you and your honey to get soaked, rubbed, and scrubbed in; Meadowood Resort will keep you relaxed and fit as a fiddle. There’s so much to do on the resort grounds you may never leave (which isn’t always a bad thing … wink wink).
Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list of amazing places to visit in this fair country. What beautiful, romantic, or secluded places are on your mini ’moon list?
